GOETIA Book I of the Lemegeton Compiled and Translated By

Aleister Crowley

3UHIDFH This translation of the FIRST BOOK Of the “Lemegeton” which is now for the first time made accessible to students of TALISMANIC MAGIC was done, after careful collation and edition, from numerous Ancient Manuscripts in Hebrew, Latin, and French, by G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F., by the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosicrucian Order.1 The G. H. Fra., having succumbed unhappily to the assaults of the Four Great Princes (acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed expedient that the work should be brought to its conclusion by another hand. The investigation of a competent Skryer into the house of our unhappy Fra., confirmed this divination; neither our Fra. nor his Hermetic Mul. were there seen; but only the terrible shapes of 2 the evil Adepts S.V.A. and H., whose original bodies having been sequestered by Justice, were no longer of use to them. On this we stayed no longer Our Hand; but withdrawing Ourselves, and consulting the Rota, and the Books M. and Q. did decide to ask Mr. Aleister Crowley, a poet, and skilled student of Magical Lore, and an expert Kabbalist, to complete openly that which had been begun in secret.3 This is that which is written: “His Bishoprick let another take.” And again: “Oculi Tetragammaton.” This is also that which is said: “Nomen Secundum refertur ad Gebhurah; qui est Rex Bittul atque Corruptio Achurajim Patris et Matris hoc indigitatur. “ And so saying we wish you well.

Mr. A. E. Waite writes (“Real History Of The Rosicrucians,” p. 426) : "I beg leave to warn my readers that all persons who proclaim themselves to be Rosicrucians are simply members of pseudo-fraternities, and that there is that difference between their assertion and the fact of the case in which the essence of a lie consists!” It is within the Editor’s personal knowledge that Mr. Waite was (and still is probably) a member of a society claiming to be the R.C. fraternity As Mr. Waite constantly hints in his writing that he is in touch with initiated centres, I think the syllogism, whose premises are given above, is fair, if not quite formal.-ED. 2 It was owing to our Fra. receiving this S.V.A. as his Superior, and giving up the Arcana of our Fraternity into so unhallowed a power, that We decided no longer to leave Our dignity and authority in the hands of one who could be thus easily imposed upon. (For by a childish and easy magical trick did S.V.A. persuade D.D.C.F. of that lie.) 3 He that is appointed to complete in secret that which had been begun openly is R.R., and to be heard of at the care of the Editor.

*RHWLD 7KH/HVVHU.H\2I6RORPRQ THE INITIATED INTERPRETATION OF CEREMONIAL MAGIC. It is loftily amusing to the student of Magical literature who is not quite a fool — and rare is such a combination! — to note the criticism directed by the Philistine against the citadel of his science. Truly, since our childhood has ingrained into us not only literal belief in the Bible, but also substantial belief in Alf Laylah wa Laylah, and only adolescence can cure us, we are only too liable, in the rush and energy of dawning manhood, to overturn roughly and rashly both these classics, to regard them both on the same level, as interesting documents from the standpoint of folk-lore and anthropology, and as nothing more. Even when we learn that the Bible, by a profound and minute study of the text, may be forced to yield up Qabalistic arcana of cosmic scope and importance, we are too often slow to apply a similar restorative to the companion volume, even if we are the luck holders of Burton’s veritable edition. To me, then, it remains to raise the Alf Laylah wa Laylah into its proper place once more. I am not concerned to deny the objective reality of all “magical” phenomena; if they are illusions, they are at least as real as many unquestioned facts of daily life; 4 and, if we follow Herbert Spencer, they are at least evidence of some cause. Now, this fact is our base. What is the cause of my illusion of seeing a spirit in the triangle of Art? Every smatterer, every expert in psychology, will answer: “That cause lies in your brain.” English children (pace the Education Act) are taught that the Universe lies in infinite Space; Hindu children, in the Akasa, which is the same thing. Those Europeans who go a little deeper learn from Fichte, that the phenomenal Universe is the creation of the Ego; Hindus, or Europeans studying under Hindu Gurus, are told, that by Akasa is meant the Chitakasa. The Chitakasa is situated in the “Third Eye,” i.e., in the brain. By assuming higher dimensions of space, we can assimilate this fact to Realism; but we have no need to take so much trouble. This being true for the ordinary Universe, that all sense-impressions are dependent on changes in the brain5 we must include illusions, which are after all sense-impressions as much as “realities” are, in the class of “phenomena dependent on brain-changes.” Magical phenomena, however, come under a special sub-class, since they are 4

This, incidentally, is perhaps the greatest argument we possess, pushed to its extreme, against the Advaitist theories. 5 Thought is a secretion of the brain (Weissmann). Consciousness is a function of the brain (Huxley).

willed, and their cause is the series of “real” phenomena, called the operations of ceremonial Magic. These consist of (1) Sight. The circle, square, triangle, vessels, lamps, robes, implements, etc. (2) Sound. The invocations. (3) Smell. The perfumes. (4) Taste. The Sacraments. (5) Touch. As under (1). (6) Mind. The combination of all these and reflection on their significance. These unusual impressions (1-5) produce unusual brain-changes; hence their summary (6) is of unusual kind. Its projection back into the apparently phenomenal world is therefore unusual. 6

Herein then consists the reality of the operations and effects of ceremonial magic, and I conceive that the apology is ample, as far as the “effects” refer only to those phenomena which appear to the magician himself, the appearance of the spirit, his conversation, possible shocks from imprudence, and so on, even to ecstasy on the one hand, and death or madness on the other. But can any of the effects described in this our book Goetia be obtained, and if so, can you give a rational explanation of the circumstances? Say you so? I can, and will. The spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain. Their seals therefore represent (Mr. Spencer’s projected cube) methods of stimulating or regulating those particular spots (through the eye). The names of God are vibrations calculated to establish: (a) General control of the brain. (Establishment of functions relative to the subtle world.) (b) Control over the brain in detail. (Rank or type of the Spirit.) (c) Control of one special portion. (Name of the Spirit.) The perfumes aid this through smell. Usually the perfume will only tend to 6

Apart from its value in obtaining one-pointedness.

control a large area; but there is an attribution of perfumes to letters of the alphabet enabling one, by a Qabalistic formula, to spell out the Spirit’s name. I need not enter into more particular discussion of these points; the intelligent reader can easily fill in what is lacking. If, then, I say, with Solomon: “The Spirit Cimieries teaches logic,” what I mean is: “Those portions of my brain which subserve the logical faculty way be stimulated and developed by following out the processes called ‘The Invocation of Cimieries.’ “ And this is a purely materialistic rational statement; it is independent of any objective hierarchy at all. Philosophy has nothing to say; and Science can only suspend judgment, pending a proper and methodical investigation of the facts alleged. Unfortunately, we cannot stop there. Solomon promises us that we can (1) obtain information; (2) destroy our enemies; (3) understand the voices of nature; (4) obtain treasure; (5) heal diseases, etc. I have taken these five powers at random; considerations of space forbid me to explain all. (1) Brings up facts from sub-consciousness. (2) Here we come to an interesting fact. It is curious to note the contrast between the noble means and the apparently vile ends of magical rituals. The latter are disguises for sublime truths. “To destroy our enemies” is to realize the illusion of duality, to excite compassion. (Ah! Mr. Waite, the world of Magic is a mirror, wherein who sees muck is muck.) (3) A careful naturalist will understand much from the voices of the animals he has studied long. Even a child knows the difference of a cat’s miauling and purring. The faculty may be greatly developed. (4) Business capacity may be stimulated. (5) Abnormal states of the body may be corrected, and the involved tissues brought back to tone, in obedience to currents started from the brain. So for all other phenomena. There is no effect which is truly and necessarily miraculous. Our Ceremonial Magic fines down, then, to a series of minute, though of course empirical, physiological experiments, and whoso will carry them through intelligently need not fear the result. I have all the health, and treasure, and logic, I need; I have no time to waste. “There is a lion in the way.” For me these practices are useless; but for the benefit of others less fortunate I give them to the world, together with this explanation of, and apology for, them. I trust that the explanation will enable many students who have hitherto, by a puerile objectivity in their view of the question, obtained no results, to succeed; that the apology may impress upon our scornful men of science that the study of the bacillus should give place to that of the baculum, the little to the great—how great

one only realizes when one identifies the wand with the Mahalingam, up which Brahma flew at the rate of 84,000 yojanas a second for 84,000 mahakalpas, down which Vishnu flew at the rate of 84,000 croces of yojanas a second for 84,000 crores of mahakalpas—yet neither reached an end. But I reach an end. Boleskine House, Foyers, N.B.

PRELIMINARY DEFINITION OF MAGIC. LEMEGETON VEL CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS. Magic is the Highest, most Absolute, and most Divine Knowledge of Natural 7 Philosophy, advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a right understanding of the inward and occult virtue of things; so that true Agents8 being 9 applied to proper Patients, strange and admirable effects will thereby be produced. Whence magicians are profound and diligent searchers into Nature; they, because of their skill, know how to anticipate an effort,10 the which to the vulgar shall seem to be a miracle. Origen saith that the Magical Art doth not contain anything subsisting, but although it should, yet that it must not be Evil, or subject to contempt or scorn; and doth distinguish the Natural Magic from that which is Diabolical. Apollonius Tyannaeus only exercised the Natural Magic, by the which he did perform wonderful things. Philo Hebraeus saith that true Magic, by which we do arrive at the understanding of the Secret Works of Nature, is so far from being contemptible that the greatest Monarchs and Kings have studied it. Nay! among the Persians none might reign unless he was skilful in this GREAT ART. This Noble Science often degenerateth, from Natural becometh Diabolical, and from True Philosophy turneth unto Nigromancy.11 The which is wholly to be charged upon its followers, who, abusing or not being capable of that High and Mystical Knowledge do immediately hearken unto the temptations of Sathan, and are misled by him into the Study of the Black Art. Hence it is that Magic lieth under disgrace, and they who seek after it are vulgarly esteemed Sorcerers. The Fraternity of the Rosie Crusians thought it not fit to style themselves Magicians, but rather Philosophers. And they be not ignorant Empiricks12 2 but learned and experienced Physicians, whose remedies be not only Lawful but Divine. THE BRIEF INTRODUCTORY DESCRIPTION. (N.B. This is taken from several MS. Codices, of which the four principal variations are here composed together in parallel columns as an example of the close agreement of the various texts of the Lemegeton. For in the whole work the differences in the wording of the various Codices are not sufficient to require the constant giving of parallel readings; but except in the more ancient examples there is much deterioration in the Seals and Sigils, so that in 7

This Preliminary Definition of Magic is found in very few Codices, and is probably later than the body of the work. 8 Or Actives. 9 Or Passives. 10 Or Effect. 11 Or the Black Art, as distinct from mere Necromancy, or Divination by the Dead. 12 Or Quacks and Pretenders. Vide note on p. 10.

this latter respect the more recent exemplars are not entirely reliable.) CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS, which containeth all the Names, Offices, and Orders of all the Spirits that ever he had converse with, with the Seals and Characters to each Spirit and the manner of calling them forth to visible appearance: In 5 parts, viz.: (1) THE FIRST PART is a Book of Evil Spirits, called GOETIA, showing how he bound up those Spirits, and used them in general things, whereby he obtained great fame. (2) THE SECOND PART is a Book of Spirits, partly Evil and partly Good, which is named THEURGIA-GOETIA, all Aërial Spirits, etc. (3) THE THIRD PART is of Spirits governing the Planetary Hours, and what Spirits belong to every degree, of the Signs, and Planets in the Signs. Called the PAULINE ART, etc. (4) THE FOURTH PART of this Book is called ALMADEL or SOLOMON, which containeth those Spirits which govern the Four Altitudes, or the 360 Degrees of the Zodiac. These two last Orders of Spirits are Good, and to be sought for by Divine seeking, etc., and are called THEURGIA. (5) THE FIFTH PART is a Book of Orations and Prayers that Wise Solomon used upon the Altar in the Temple. The which is called ARS NOVA, which was revealed unto Solomon by that Holy Angel of God called MICHAEL; and he also received many brief Notes written with the Finger of God, which were declared to him by the said Angel with Claps of Thunder; without which Notes King Solomon had never obtained his great knowledge, for by them in a short time he knew all Arts and Sciences both Good and Bad; from these Notes it is called the NOTARY ART, etc. THE WHOLE LEMEGETON OR CLAVICULA. Now this Book containeth all the Names, Orders, and Offices of all the Spirits with which Solomon ever conversed, the Seals and Characters belonging to each Spirit, and the manner of calling them forth to visible appearance: Divided into 5 special Books or parts, viz.: (1) THE FIRST BOOK, or PART, which is a Book concerning Spirits of Evil, and which is termed THE GOETIA OF SOLOMON, sheweth forth his manner of binding these Spirits for use in things divers. And hereby did he acquire great renown. (2) THE SECOND BOOK is one which treateth of Spirits mingled of Good and Evil Natures, the which is entitled THE THEURGIA-GOETIA, or the Magical Wisdom of the Spirits Aërial, whereof some do abide, but certain do wander and abide not. (3) THE THIRD BOOK, called ARS PAULINA, or THE ART PAULINE, treateth of the Spirits allotted unto every degree of the 360 Degrees of the Zodiac; and also of the

Signs, and of the Planets in the Signs, as well as of the Hours. (4) THE FOURTH BOOK, called ARS ALMADEL SALOMONIS, or THE ART ALMADEL OF SOLOMON, concerneth those Spirits which be set over the Quaternary of the Altitudes. These two last mentioned Books, the A RT PAULINE and the ART ALMADEL, do relate unto Good Spirits alone, whose knowledge is to be obtained through seeking unto the Divine. These two Books be also classed together under the Name of the First and Second Parts of the Book THEURGIA OF SOLOMON. (5) THE FIFTH BOOK of the Lemegeton is one of Prayers and Orations. The which Solomon the Wise did use upon the Altar in the Temple. And the titles hereof be ARS NOVA, the NEW ART, and ARS NOTARIA, the NOTARY ART. The which was revealed to him by MICHAEL, that Holy Angel of God, in thunder and in lightning, and he further did receive by the aforesaid Angel certain Notes written by the Hand of God, without the which that Great King had never attained unto his great Wisdom, for thus he knew all things and all Sciences and Arts whether Good or Evil. CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS, which containeth all the Names, Offices, and Orders of all the Spirits with. whom he ever held any converse; together with the Seals and Characters proper unto each Spirit, and the method of calling them forth to visible appearance: In 5 parts, viz.: (1) THE FIRST PART is a Book of Evil Spirits, called GOETIA, showing how he bound up those Spirits and used them in things general and several, whereby he obtained great fame. (2) THE SECOND PART is a Book of Spirits, partly Evil and partly Good, which is called THEURGIA-GOETIA, all Aerial Spirits, etc. (3) THE THIRD PART is of Spirits governing the Planetary Hours, and of what Spirits do belong to every Degree of the Signs, and of the Planets in the Signs. This is called the PAULINE ART, etc. (4) THE FOURTH PART of this Book is called ALMADEL OF SOLOMON, the which containeth those Spirits which do govern the Four Altitudes, or the 360 Degrees of the Zodiac. These two last Orders of Spirits are Good, and are called T HEURGIA, and are to be sought for by Divine seeking, etc. (5) THE FIFTH PART is a Book of Orations and Prayers which Wise Solomon did use upon the Altar in the Temple. The which is called ARS NOVA, the which was revealed to Solomon by that Holy Angel of God called Michael; and he also received many brief Notes written with the Finger of God, which were declared to him by the said Angel with Claps of Thunder; without which Notes King Solomon had never obtained his Great Wisdom, for by them in short time he gained Knowledge of all Arts and Sciences both Good and Bad; from these Notes it is called THE NOTARY ART, etc.

THE BOOK OF EVIL SPIRITS. THE KEY OF SOLOMON, which contains all the names, orders, and offices of all the Spirits that ever Solomon conversed with, together with the Seals and Characters belonging to each Spirit, and the manner of calling them forth to visible appearance: In 4 parts. (1) THE FIRST PART is a Book of Evil Spirits, called GOETIA, showing how he bound up those Spirits and used them in several things, whereby he obtained great fame. (2) THE SECOND PART is a Book of Spirits, partly Good and partly Evil, which is named THEURGIA-GOETIA, all Aërial Spirits, etc. (3) THE THIRD PART is a Book governing the Planetary Houses, and what Spirits belong to every Degree of the Signs, and Planets in the Signs. Called the Pauline Art. (4) THE FOURTH PART is a Book called the ALMADEL OF SOLOMON, which contains Twenty Chief Spirits who govern the Four Altitudes, or the 360 Degrees of the Zodiac. These two last Orders of Spirits are Good, and called T HEURGIA, and are to be sought after by Divine seeking. These Most Sacred Mysteries were revealed unto Solomon. Now in this Book LEMEGETON is contained the whole Art of King Solomon. And although there be many other Books that are said to be his, yet none is to be compared hereunto, for this containeth them all. Though there be titles with several other Names of the Book, as THE BOOK HELISOL, which is the very same with this last Book of Lemegeton called ARS NOVA or ARS NOTARIA, etc. These Books were first found in the Chaldee and Hebrew Tongues at Jerusalem by a Jewish Rabbi; and by him put into the Greek language and thence into the Latin, as it is said.

He rideth on a pale horse with trumpets and other kinds of musical instruments playing before him. He is very furious at his first appearance, that is, while the Exorcist layeth his courage; for to do this he must hold a Hazel Wand in his hand, striking it out towards the South and East Quarters, make a triangle, Ò, without the Circle, and then command him into it by the Bonds and Charges of Spirits as hereafter followeth. And if he doth not enter into the triangle, Ò, at your threats, rehearse the Bonds and Charms before him, and then he will yield Obedience and come into it, and do what he is commanded by the Exorcist. Yet he must receive him courteously because he is a Great King, and do homage unto him, as the Kings and Princes do that attend upon him. And thou must have always a Silver Ring on the middle 14 finger of the left hand held against thy face, as they do yet before AMAYMON. This Great King Beleth causeth all the love that may be, both of Men and of Women, until the Master Exorcist 14

To protect him from the flaming breath of the enraged Spirit; the design is given at the end of the instructions for the Magical Circle, etc., later on in the Goetia.

And this is his Seal, which is to be worn, etc. (70.) SEERE, SEAR, or SEIR. - The Seventieth Spirit is Seere, Sear, or Seir. He is a Mighty Prince, and Powerful, under AMAYMON, King of the East. He appeareth in the Form of a Beautiful Man, riding upon a Winged Horse. His Office is to go and come; and to bring abundance of things to pass on a sudden, and to carry or recarry anything whither thou wouldest have it to go, or whence thou wouldest have it from. He can pass over the whole Earth in the twinkling of an Eye. He giveth a True relation of all sorts of Theft, and of Treasure hid, and of many other things. He is of an indifferent Good Nature, and is willing to do anything which the Exorcist desireth. He governeth 26 Legions of Spirits. And this his Seal is to be worn, etc. (71.)

He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits; and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc. (72.) ANDROMALIUS.—The Seventy-second Spirit in Order is named Andromalius. He is an Earl, Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man holding a Great Serpent in his Hand. His Office is to bring back both a Thief, and the Goods which be stolen; and to discover all Wickedness, and Underhand Dealing; and to punish all Thieves and other Wicked People and also to discover Treasures that be Hid. He ruleth over 36 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, the which wear thou as aforesaid, etc.

THESE be the 72 Mighty Kings and Princes which King Solomon Commanded into a Vessel of Brass, together with their Legions. Of whom BELIAL, BILETH, ASMODAY, and GAAP, were Chief. And it is to be noted that Solomon did this because of their pride, for he never declared other reason why he thus bound them. And when he had thus bound them up and sealed the Vessel, he by Divine Power did chase them all into a deep Lake or Hole in Babylon. And they of Babylon, wondering to see such a thing, they did then go wholly into the Lake, to break the Vessel open, expecting to find great store of Treasure therein. But when they had broken it open, out flew the Chief Spirits immediately, with their Legions following them; and they were all restored to their former places except BELIAL, who entered into a certain Image, and thence gave answers unto those who did offer Sacrifices unto him, and did worship the Image as their God, etc. OBSERVATIONS. FIRST, thou shalt know and observe the Moon’s Age for thy working. The best days be when the Moon Luna is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 days old, as Solomon saith; and no other days be profitable. The Seals of the 72 Kings are to be made in Metals. The Chief Kings’ in Sol (Gold); Marquises’ in Luna (Silver); Dukes’ in Venus (Copper); Prelacies’ in Jupiter (Tin); Knights’ in Saturn (Lead); Presidents’ in Mercury (Mercury); Earls’ in Venus (Copper), and Luna (Silver), alike equal, etc. THESE 72 Kings be under the Power of AMAYMON, CORSON, ZIMIMAY or ZIMINAIR, and GAAP, who are the Four Great Kings ruling in the Four Quarters, or Cardinal Points,27 viz.: East, West, North, and South, and are not to be called forth except it be upon Great Occasions; but are to be Invocated and Commanded to send such or such a Spirit that is under their Power and Rule, as is shown in the following Invocations or Conjurations. And the Chief Kings may be bound from 9 till 12 o’clock at Noon, and from 3 till Sunset; Marquises may be bound from 3 in the afternoon till 9 at Night, and from 9 at Night till Sunrise; Dukes may be bound from Sunrise till Noonday in Clear Weather; Prelates may be bound any hour of the Day; Knights may from Dawning of Day till Sunrise, or from 4 o’clock till Sunset; Presidents may be bound any time, excepting Twilight, at Night, unless the King whom they are under be Invocated; and Counties or Earls any hour of the Day, so it be in Woods, or in any other places whither men resort not, or where no noise is, etc.

27

These four Great Kings are usually called Oriens, or Uriens, Paymon or Paymonia, Ariton or Egyn, and Amaymon or Amaimon. By the Rabbins they are frequently entitled: Samael, Azazel, Azael, and Mahazael.

CLASSIFIED LIST OF THE 72 CHIEF SPIRITS OF THE GOETIA, ACCORDING TO RESPECTIVE RANK.

(Seal in Gold.) KINGS. - (1.) Bael; (9.) Paimon; (13.) Beleth; (20.) Purson; (32.) Asmoday; (45.) Vine; (51.) Balam; (61.) Zagan; (68.) Belial. (Seal in Copper.) DUKES. - (2.) Agares; (6.) Valefor; (8.) Barbatos; (11.) Gusion; (15.) Eligos; (16.) Zepar; (18.) Bathim; (19.) Sallos; (23.) Aim; (26.) Bune; (28.) Berith; (29.) Astaroth; (41.) Focalor; (42.) Vepar; (47.) Vual; (49.)

Phenex; (43.) Sabnock; (44.) Shax; (59.) Orias; (63.) Andras; (65.) Andrealphus; (66.) Cimeies; (69.) Decarabia. (Seal in Mercury.) PRESIDENTS.- (5.) Marbas; (10.) Buer; (17.) Botis; (21.) Marax; (25.) Glasya-Labolas; (31.) Foras; (33.) Gaap; (39.) Malphas; (48.) Haagenti; (53.) Caim; (57.) Ose; (58.) Amy; (61.) Zagan; (62.) Valac. (Seal in Copper and Silver alike equal.)

KNIGHTS. - (50.) Furcas. NOTE. - It will be remarked that several among the above Spirits possess two titles of different ranks; e.g., (45.) Vine is both King and Earl; (25.) Glasya-Labolas is both President and Earl, etc. “Prince” and “Prelate” are apparently used as interchangeable terms. Probably the Seals of Earls should be made of Iron, and those of Presidents in mixture either of Copper and Silver, or of Silver and Mercury; as otherwise the Metal of one Planet, Mars, is excluded from the List; the Metals attributed to the Seven Planets being: to Saturn, Lead; to Jupiter, Tin; to Mars, Iron; to the Sun, Gold; to Venus, Copper; to Mercury, Mercury and mixtures of Metals, and to Luna, Silver. In a manuscript codex by Dr. Rudd, which is in the British Museum, Hebrew names of these 72 Spirits are given; but it appears to me that many are manifestly incorrect in orthography. The codex in question, though beautifully written, also contains many other errors, particularly in the Sigils. Such as they are, these names in the Hebrew of Dr. Rudd are here shown. (See Figures 81 to 152 inclusive.)

THE MAGICAL CIRCLE. This is the Form of the Magical Circle of King Solomon, the which he made that he might preserve himself therein from the malice of these Evil Spirits. (See Frontispiece, Figure 153.) This Magical Circle is to be made 9 feet across, and the Divine Names are to be written around it, beginning at EHYEH, and ending at LEVANAH, Luna. (Colours. - The space between the outer and inner circles, where the serpent28 is coiled, with the Hebrew names written along his body, is bright deep yellow. The square in the centre of the circle, where the word “Master” is written, is filled in with red. All names and letters are in black. In the Hexagrams the outer triangles where the letters A, D, O, N, A, I, appear are filled in with bright yellow, the centres, where the T-shaped crosses are, blue or green. In the Pentagrams outside the circle, the outer triangles where “Te, tra, gram, ma, ton,” is written, are filled in bright yellow, and the centres with the T crosses written therein are red.”) THE MAGICAL TRIANGLE OF SOLOMON. This is the Form of the Magical Triangle, into the which Solomon did command the Evil Spirits. It is to be made at 2 feet distance from the Magical Circle and it is 3 feet across. (See Frontispiece Figure 154.) Note that this triangle is to be placed toward that quarter whereunto the Spirit belongeth. And the base of the triangle is to be nearest unto the Circle, the apex pointing in the direction of the quarter of the Spirit. Observe thou also the Moon in thy working, as aforesaid, etc. Anaphaxeton is sometimes written Anepheneton. (Colours. - Triangle outlined in black; name of Michael black on white ground; the three Names without the triangle written in red; circle in centre entirely filled in in dark green.)

28

The coiled serpent is only shown in one private codex, the Hebrew names being in most cases simply written round in a somewhat spiral arrangement within the double circle. It is to be remembered that Hebrew is always written from right to left, instead of from left to right like ordinary European languages. The small Maltese crosses are placed to mark the conclusion of each separate set of Hebrew names. These names are those of Deity Angels and Archangels allotted by the Qabalists to each of the 9 first Sephiroth or Divine Emanations. In English letters they run thus, beginning from the head of the serpent: + Ehyeh Kether Metatron Chaioth Ha-Qadehs Rashith Ha-Galgalim S.P.M. (for "Sphere of the Primum Mobile") + lah Chokmah Ratziel Auphanim Masloth S.S.F (for "Sphere of the Fixed Stars," or S.Z. for "Sphere of the Zodiac") + Iehovah Eolhim Binah Tzaphquiel Aralim Shabbathai S. (for "Sphere") of Saturn + El Chesed Tzadquiel Chaschmalim Tzedeq S. of Jupiter + Elohim Gibor Geburah Kamael Seraphim Madim S. of Mars + Iehovah Eloah Va-Daath Tiphereth Raphael Malakim Shemesh S. of the Sun + Iehovah Tzabaoth Netzach Haniel Elohim Nogah S. of Venus. + Elohim Tzabaoth Hod Michael Beni Elohim Kokav S. of Mercury + Shaddai El Chai lesod Gabriel Cherubim Levanah S. of the Moon +

THE HEXAGRAM OF SOLOMON. THIS is the Form of the Hexagram of Solomon, the figure whereof is to be made on parchment of a calf’s skin, and worn at the skirt of thy white vestment, and covered with a cloth of fine linen white and pure, the which is to be shown unto the Spirits when they do appear, so that they be compelled to take human shape upon them and be obedient. (Colours. - Circle, Hexagon, and T cross in centre outlined in black, Maltese crosses black; the five exterior triangles of the Hexagram where Te, tra, gram, ma, ton, is written, are filled in with bright yellow; the T cross in centre is red, with the three little squares therein in black. The lower exterior triangle, where the Sigil is drawn in black, is left white. The words “ Tetragrammaton” and “Tau” are in black letters; and AGLA with Alpha and Omega in red letters.) THE PENTAGRAM OF SOLOMON. THIS is the Form of Pentagram of Solomon, the figure whereof is to be made in Sol or Luna (Gold or Silver), and worn upon thy breast; having the Seal of the Spirit required upon the other side thereof. It is to preserve thee from danger, and also to command the Spirits by. (Colours. - Circle and pentagram outlined in black. Names and Sigils within Pentagram black also. “Tetragrammaton” in red letters. Ground of centre of Pentagram, where “Soluzen” is written, green. External angles of Pentagram where “Abdia ... .. Ballaton, Halliza, “ etc., are written, blue.)

THE MAGIC RING OR DISC OF SOLOMON THIS is the Form of the Magic Ring, or rather Disc, of Solomon, the figure whereof is to be made in gold or silver. It is to be held before the face of the exorcist to preserve him from the stinking sulphurous fumes and flaming breath of the Evil Spirits. (Colour. - Bright yellow. Letters, black.)

THE VESSEL OF BRASS. THIS is the Form of the Vessel of Brass wherein King Solomon did shut up the Evil Spirits, etc. (See Figures 158 and 159.) (Somewhat different forms are given in the various codices. The seal in Figure 160 was made in brass to cover this vessel with at the top. This history of the genii shut up in the brazen vessel by King Solomon recalls the story of “The Fisherman and the Jinni “ in “The Arabian Nights.” In this tale, however, there was only one jinni shut up in a vessel of yellow brass the which was covered at the top with a leaden seal. This jinni tells the fisherman that his name is Sakhr, or Sacar.) (Colour. - Bronze. Letters.-Black on a red band.)

THE SECRET SEAL OF SOLOMON. This is the Form of the Secret Seal of Solomon, wherewith he did bind and seal up the aforesaid Spirits with their legions in the Vessel of Brass. This seal is to be made by one that is clean both inwardly and outwardly, and that hath not defiled himself by any woman in the space of a month, but hath in prayer and fasting desired of God to forgive him all his sins, etc. It is to be made on the day of Mars or Saturn (Tuesday or Saturday) at night at 12 o’clock, and written upon virgin parchment with the blood of a black cock that never trode hen. Note that on this night the moon must be increasing in light (i.e., going from new to full) and in the Zodiacal Sign of Virgo. And when the seal is so made thou shalt perfume it with alum, raisins dried in the sun, dates, cedar and lignum aloes. Also, by this seal King Solomon did command all the aforesaid Spirits in the Vessel of Brass, and did seal it up with this same seal. He by it gained the love of all manner of persons, and overcame in battle, for neither weapons, nor fire, nor water could hurt him. And this privy seal was made to cover the vessel at the top withal, etc. THE OTHER MAGICAL REQUISITES. The other magical requisites are: a sceptre, a sword, a mitre, a cap, a long white robe of linen, and other garments for the purpose; 29 also a girdle of lion’s skin three inches broad, with all the names written about it which be round the outmost part of the Magical Circle. Also perfumes, and a chafing-dish of charcoal kindled to put the fumes on, to smoke or perfume the place appointed for action; also anointing oil to anoint thy temples and thine eyes with; and fair water to wash thyself in. And in so doing, thou shalt say as David said:

29

In many Codices it is written “a sceptre or sword, a mitre or cap.” By the “other garments” would be meant not only undergarments, but, also mantles of different colours.

THE ADORATION AT THE BATH. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, O Lord! and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. And at the putting on of thy garments thou shalt say: T HE ADORATION AT THE INDUING OF THE VESTMENTS. “By the figurative mystery of these holy vestures (or of this holy vestment) I will clothe me with the armour of salvation in the strength of the Most High, A NCHOR; AMACOR; AMIDES; THEODINIAS; ANITOR; that my desired end may be effected through Thy strength, O ADONAI! unto Whom the praise and glory will for ever and ever belong! Amen!” After thou hast so done, make prayers unto God according unto thy work, as Solomon hath commanded. THE CONJURATION TO CALL FORTH ANY OF THE AFORESAID SPIRITS. I DO invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit, N.30; and being with power armed from the SUPREME MAJESTY, I do strongly command thee, by BERALANENSIS, BALDACHIENSIS, PAUMACHIA, and APOLOGIAE SEDES; by the most Powerful Princes, Genii, Liachidee, and Ministers of the Tartarean Abode; and by the Chief Prince of the Seat of Apologia in the Ninth Legion, I do invoke thee, and by invocating conjure thee. And being armed with power from the SUPREME MAJESTY, I do strongly command thee, by Him Who spake and it was done, and unto whom all creatures be obedient. Also I, being made after the image of GOD, endued with power from GOD and created according unto His will, do exorcise thee by that most mighty and powerful name of GOD, EL, strong and wonderful; O thou Spirit N. And I command thee and Him who spake the Word and His F IAT was accomplished, and by all the names of God. Also by the names ADONAI, EL, ELOHIM, ELOHI, EHYEH, ASHER EHYEH, ZABAOTH, ELION, IAH, TETRAGRAMMATON, SHADDAI, LORD GOD MOST HIGH, I do exorcise thee and do powerfully command thee, O thou Spirit N., that thou dost forthwith appear unto me here before this Circle in a fair human shape, without any deformity or tortuosity. And by this ineffable name, TETRAGRAMMATON IEHOVAH, do I command thee, at the which being heard the elements are overthrown, the air is shaken, the sea runneth back, the fire is quenched, the earth trembleth, and all the hosts of the celestials, terrestrials, and infernals, do tremble together, and are troubled and confounded. Wherefore come thou, O Spirit N., forthwith, and without delay, from any or all parts of the world wherever thou mayest be, and make rational answers unto all things that I shall demand of thee. Come thou peaceably, visibly, and affably, now, and without delay, manifesting that which I shall desire. For thou art conjured by the name of the LIVING and TRUE GOD, HELIOREN, wherefore fulfil thou my commands, and persist thou therein unto the end, and according unto mine interest, visibly and affably 30

Here interpolate the name of the Spirit desired to be invocated. In some of the Codices there are faint variations in the form of wording of the conjurations, but not sufficient to change the sense, e. g., “Tartarean abode" for “Tartarean seat,” etc.

speaking unto me with a voice clear and intelligible without any ambiguity. REPEAT this conjuration as often as thou pleasest, and if the Spirit come not yet, say as followeth: THE SECOND CONJURATION. I DO invocate, conjure, and command thee, O thou Spirit N., to appear and to show thyself visibly unto me before this Circle in fair and comely shape, without any deformity or tortuosity; by the name and in the name IAH and VAU, which Adam heard and spake; and by the name of GOD, AGLA, which Lot heard and was saved with his family; and by the name IOTH, which Jacob heard from the angel wrestling with him, and was delivered from the hand of Esau his brother; and by the name ANAPHAXETON which Aaron heard and spake and was made wise; and by the name ZABAOTH, which Moses named and all the rivers were turned into blood; and by the name ASHER EHYEH ORISTON, which Moses named, and all the rivers brought forth frogs, and they ascended into the houses, destroying all things; and by the name ELION, which Moses named, and there was great hail such as had not been since the beginning Of the world; and by the name ADONAI, which Moses named, and there came up locusts, which appeared upon the whole land, and devoured all which the hail had left; and by the name SCHEMA AMATHIA which Ioshua called upon, and the sun stayed his course; and by the name ALPHA and OMEGA, which Daniel named, and destroyed Bel, and slew the Dragon; and in the name EMMANUEL, which the three children, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, sang in the midst of the fiery furnace, and were delivered; and by the name HAGIOS; and by the SEAL31 OF ADONI; and by ISCHYROS, ATHANATOS, PARACLETOS; and by O THEOS, ICTROS, ATHANATOS; and by these three secret names, AGLA, ON, TETRAGRAMMATON, do I adjure and constrain thee. And by these names, and by all the other names of the LIVING and TRUE GOD, the LORD ALMIGHTY, I do exorcise and command thee, O Spirit N., even by Him Who spake the Word and it was done, and to Whom all creatures are obedient; and by the dreadful judgments of GOD; and by the uncertain Sea of Glass, which is before the DIVINE MAJESTY, mighty and powerful; by the four beasts before the throne, having eyes before and behind; by the fire round about the throne; by the holy angels of Heaven; and by the mighty wisdom of GOD; I do potently exorcise thee, that thou appearest here before this Circle, to fulfil my will in all things which shall seem good unto me; by the Seal of BASDATHEA BALDA-CHIA; and by this name PRIMEUMATON, which Moses named, and the earth opened, and did swallow up Kora, Dathan, and Abiram. Wherefore thou shalt make faithful answers unto all my demands, O Spirit N., and shalt perform all my desires so far as in thine office thou art capable hereof. Wherefore, come thou, visibly, peaceably, and affably, now without delay, to manifest that which I desire, speaking with a clear and perfect voice, intelligibly, and to mine understanding. IF HE come not yet at the rehearsal of these two first conjurations (but without doubt he will), say on as followeth; it being a constraint:

31

In some “By the Seat of Adonai” or “By the Throne of Adonai.” In these conjurations and elsewhere in the body of the text I have given the divine names correctly.

THE CONSTRAINT. I DO conjure thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the most glorious and efficacious names of the MOST GREAT AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE LORD GOD OF HOSTS, that thou comest quickly and without delay from all parts and places of the earth and world wherever thou mayest be, to make rational answers unto my demands, and that visibly and affably, speaking with a voice intelligible unto mine understanding as aforesaid. I conjure and constrain thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the names aforesaid; and in addition by these seven great names wherewith Solomon the Wise bound thee and thy companions in a Vessel of Brass, ADONAI, PREYAI or PRERAI, TETRAGRAMMATON, ANAPHAXETON or ANEPHENETON, INESSENFATOAL or INESSENFATALL, PATHTUMON or PATHATUMON, and ITEMON; that thou appearest here before this Circle to fulfil my will in all things that seem good unto me. And if thou be still so disobedient, and refusest still to come, I will in the power and by the power of the name of the SUPREME AND EVERLASTING LORD GOD WHO created both thee and me and all the world in six days, and what is contained therein, EIE, SARAYE, and by the power of this name PRIMEUMATON which commandeth the whole host of Heaven, curse thee, and deprive thee of thine office, joy, and place, and bind thee in the depths of the Bottomless Pit or Abyss, there to remain unto the Day of the Last Judgment. And I will bind thee in the Eternal Fire, and into the Lake of Flame and of Brimstone, unless thou comest quickly and appearest here before this Circle to do my will. Therefore, come thou! in and by the holy names ADONAI, ZABAOTH, ADONAI, AMIORAN. Come thou! for it is ADONAI who commandest thee. IF THOU hast come thus far, and yet he appeareth not, thou mayest be sure that he is sent unto some other place by his King, and cannot come; and if it be so, invocate the King as here followeth, to send him. But if he do not come still, then thou mayest be sure that he is bound in chains in hell, and that he is not in the custody of his King. If so, and thou still hast a desire to call him even from thence, thou must rehearse the general curse which is called the Spirits’ Chain. 32

Here followeth, therefore, the Invocation of the King:

THE INVOCATION OF THE KING. O THOU great, powerful, and mighty KING AMAIMON, who bearest rule by the power of the SUPREME GOD EL over all spirits both superior and inferior of the Infernal Orders in the Dominion of the East; I do invocate and command thee by the especial and true name of GOD; and by that God that Thou Worshippest; and by the Seal of thy creation; and by the most mighty and powerful name of GOD, IEHOVAH TETRAGRAMMATON who cast thee out of heaven with all other infernal spirits; and by all the most powerful and great names of GOD who created Heaven, and Earth, and Hell, and all things in them contained; and by their power and virtue; and by the name P RIMEUMATON who commandeth the whole host of Heaven; that thou mayest cause, enforce, and compel the Spirit N. to come unto me here before this Circle in a fair and comely shape, without harm unto me or unto any other creature, to answer truly and faithfully unto all my requests; so that I may 32

It will depend on the quarter to which the Spirit is attributed, which of the four chief kings are to be invoked.

accomplish my will and desire in knowing or obtaining any matter or thing which by office thou knowest is proper for him to perform or accomplish, through the power of GOD, EL, Who created and doth dispose of all things both celestial, aerial terrestrial, and infernal. AFTER thou shalt have invocated the King in this manner twice or thrice over, then conjure the spirit thou wouldst call forth by the aforesaid conjurations, rehearsing them several times together, and he will come without doubt, if not at the first or second time of rehearsing. But if he do not come, add the “Spirits’ Chain” unto the end of the aforesaid conjurations, and he will be forced to come, even if he be bound in chains, for the chains must break off from him, and he will be at liberty: THE GENERAL CURSE, CALLED THE SPIRITS’ CHAIN, AGAINST ALL SPIRITS THAT REBEL. O THOU wicked and disobedient spirit N., because thou hast rebelled, and hast not obeyed nor regarded my words which I have rehearsed; they being all glorious and incomprehensible names of the true GOD, the maker and creator of thee and of me, and of all the world; I DO by the power of these names the which no creature is able to resist, curse thee into the depth of the Bottomless Abyss, there to remain unto the Day of Doom in chains, and in fire and brimstone unquenchable, unless thou forthwith appear here before this Circle, in this triangle to do my will. And, therefore, come thou quickly and peaceably, in and by these Dames of GOD, ADONAI, ZABAOTH, ADONAI, AMIORAN; come thou! come thou! for it is the King of Kings, even ADONAI, who commandeth thee. WHEN thou shalt have rehearsed thus far, but still be cometh not, then write thou his seal on parchment and put thou it into a strong black box;33 with brimstone, asafetida and such like things that bear a stinking smell; and then bind the box up round with an iron wire, and hang it upon the point of thy sword, and hold it over the fire of charcoal; and say as followeth unto the fire first, it being placed toward that quarter whence the Spirit is to come: THE CONJURATION OF THE FIRE. I CONJURE thee, O fire, by him who made thee and all other creatures for good in the world, that thou torment, burn, and consume this Spirit N., for everlasting. I condemn thee, thou Spirit N., because thou art disobedient and obeyest not my commandment, nor keepest the precepts of the LORD Thy GOD, neither wilt thou obey me nor mine invocations, having thereby called thee forth, I, who am the servant of the MOST HIGH AND IMPERIAL LORD GOD OF HOSTS, IEHOVAH, I who am dignified and fortified by His celestial power and permission, and yet thou comest not to answer these my propositions here made unto thee. For the which thine averseness and contempt thou art guilty of great disobedience and rebellion, and therefore shall I excommunicate thee, and destroy thy name and seal, the which I 33

This box should evidently be in metal or in something which does not take fire easily.

have enclosed in this box; and shall burn thee in the immortal fire and bury thee in immortal oblivion; unless thou immediately come and appear visibly and affably, friendly and courteously here unto me before this Circle, in this triangle, in a form comely and fair, and in no wise terrible, hurtful, or frightful to me or any other creature whatsoever upon the face of earth. And thou shalt make rational answers unto my requests, and perform all my desires in all things, that I shall make unto thee. AND if he come not even yet, thou shalt say as followeth: THE GREATER CURSE.34 Now O thou Spirit N., since thou art still pernicious and disobedient, and wilt not appear unto me to answer unto such things as I would have desired of thee, or would have been satisfied in; I do in the name, and by the power and dignity of the Omnipresent and Immortal Lord God of Hosts IEHOVAH TETRAGRAMMATON, the only creator of Heaven, and Earth, and Hell, and all that is therein, who is the marvellous Disposer of all things both visible and invisible, curse thee, and deprive thee of all thine office, joy, and place; and I do bind thee in the depths of the Bottomless Abyss there to remain until the Day of Judgment, I say into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone which is prepared for all rebellious, disobedient, obstinate, and pernicious spirits. Let all the company of Heaven curse thee! Let the sun, moon, and all the stars curse thee! Let the LIGHT and all the hosts of Heaven curse thee into the fire unquenchable, and into the torments unspeakable. And as thy name and seal contained in this box chained and bound up, shall be choken in sulphurous stinking substances, and burned in this material fire; so in the name IEHOVAH and by the power and dignity of these three names, TETRAGRAMMATON, ANAPHAXETON, and PRIMEUMATON, I do cast thee, O thou wicked and disobedient Spirit N., into the Lake of Fire which is prepared for the damned and accursed spirits, and there to remain unto the day of doom, and never more to be remembered before the face of GOD, who shall come to judge the quick, and the dead, and the world, by fire. THEN the exorcist must put the box into the fire, and by-and-by the Spirit will come, but as soon as he is come, quench the fire that the box is in, and make a sweet perfume, and give him welcome and a kind entertainment, showing unto him the Pentacle that is at the bottom of your vesture covered with a linen cloth, saying: THE ADDRESS UNTO THE SPIRIT UPON HIS COMING. BEHOLD thy confusion if thou refusest to be obedient! Behold the Pentacle of Solomon which I have brought here before thy presence! Behold the person of the exorcist in the midst of the exorcism; him who is armed by GOD and without fear; him who potently invocateth thee and calleth thee forth unto appearance; even him, thy master, who is called OCTINIMOS. Wherefore make rational answer unto my demands, and prepare to be obedient unto thy master in the name of the Lord: 34

In some codices this is called "the Curse" only; but in one or two the “Spirits' Chain” is called “the Lesser Curse,” and this the “Greater Curse.”

BATHAL OR VATHAT RUSHING UPON ABRAC! ABEOR COMING UPON ABERER!35 THEN he or they will be obedient, and bid thee ask what thou wilt, for he or they be subjected by God to fulfil our desires and commands. And when he or they shall have appeared and showed himself or themselves humble and meek, then shalt thou rehearse: THE WELCOME UNTO THE SPIRIT. WELCOME Spirit N., O most noble king36 (or kings)! I say thou art welcome unto me, because I have called thee through Him who has created Heaven, and Earth, and Hell, and all that is in them contained, and because also thou hast obeyed. By that same power by the which I have called thee forth, I bind thee, that thou remain affably and visibly here before this Circle (or before this Circle and in this triangle) so constant and so long as I shall have occasion for thy presence; and not to depart without my license until thou hast duly and faithfully performed my will without any falsity. THEN standing in the midst of the Circle, thou shall stretch forth thine hand in a gesture of command and say: “BY THE ANSWER!”

PENTACLE OF SOLOMON HAVE I CALLED THEE! GIVE UNTO ME A TRUE

Then let the exorcist state his desires and requests. And when the evocation is finished thou shalt license the Spirit to depart thus: THE LICENSE TO DEPART. O THOU Spirit N., because thou hast diligently answered unto my demands, and hast been very ready and willing to come at my call, I do here license thee to depart unto thy proper place; without causing harm or danger unto man or beast. Depart, then, I say, and be thou very ready to come at my call, being duly exorcised and conjured by the sacred rites of magic. I charge thee to withdraw peaceably and quietly and the peace of god be ever continued between thee and me! AMEN! AFTER thou hast given the Spirit license to depart, thou art not to go out of the circle until he or they be gone, and until thou shalt have made prayers and rendered thanks unto God for the great blessings He hath bestowed upon thee in granting thy desires, and delivering thee from all the malice of the enemy the devil. Also note! Thou mayest command these spirits into the Vessel of Brass in the same manner as thou dost into the triangle, by saying: “that thou dost forthwith appear before this Circle, in this Vessel of Brass, in a fair and comely shape,” etc., as hath been shown in the foregoing conjurations.

Lemegeton

Theurgia Goetia – The Second Book of the Lemegeton Edited, formatted, and converted to Acrobat by Benjamin Rowe, June 1999. This edition was assembled from various published versions, and later checked and modified against a microfilm of Sloane MS. 2731 from the British Museum. The text as shown does not precisely reflect any of the versions; it is closest to the British Museum version, but with some interpolated words to enable the reader to more easily make sense of it. The Seals of the Spirits are substantially the same as those in the BM version. The illustrations have been optimized for printing on a 300-dpi or higher laser or inkjet printer. Depending on your monitor and driver software, they may not appear on your screen with their best quality. Typeset in Adobe Caslon.

Theurgia Goetia

Here Beginneth The Second Book called the Art Theurgia Goetia of Solomon the King In this following treatise you have the names of the Chief Spirits with several of the Ministring Spirits that are under them, with their Seals or charactors which are to be worn as a Lamen on your breast, for without that the Spirit that has appeared will not obey to do your will. The office of these Spirits is all one, for what one can do the others can do the same, they can show & discover all things that are hidden, and done in the world & can fetch & carry & do any thing that is to be done or contained in any of the 4 Elements, Fire, Air, Earth or Water, & also the secrets of Kings or any other persons or person, let it be in what kind it will. These are by nature good & evil, that is the one part is good & the other part is Evil, they are governed by their Princes, & each Prince hath his abode in the points of the Compass, as is showed in the following figure, therefore when you have a desire to call any of the Princes or any of their servants, you are to direct your self towards that point of the Compass the King or Prince has his mansion or place of Abode, & you cannot well err in your operations, note every Prince is to have his Conjuration, yet all of one form, excepting the name and place of the Spirit for in that they must change & differ, also the seals of the Spirits are to be changed accordingly. As for the garments & other materials, they are spoken of in the Book Goetia, aforesaid. The Forme of the figure which Discovers the orders of the 31 Kings or Princes with their Servants & Ministers, for when the King is found his subjects are easy to be found out. The Figure Followeth:

You may perceive by this figure that 20 of these Kings have then fixed mansions & continue in one place, & the others are movable & are sometimes in one place & sometimes another & sometimes in another more or less.

Carnesiel is the most chief & great Emperor ruling the East, who hath 1000 great Dukes & 100 Lessor Dukes under him, besides 500,000,000,000 of ministring Spirits which are more inferior than the Dukes, whereof we shall make no mention but only 12 of the chief Dukes & their seals because they are sufficient for practise.

The End of the First Part of the Book Pauline

Ars Paulina

The Second part of this Book of Solomon of the Art of Pauline, is as followeth: This second part contains the Mystical names of the Angels of the Signs in general & also the Angels of every degree of the signs in general, which is called the Angels of men, because that in some one of these signs & degrees every man is born in, therefore he that knows the minutes of his birth, he may know the name of the Angel that governs him, & thereby he may attain to All Arts & Sciences yea, to all the wisdom & knowledge that any mortal man can desire in this world. But note this, that these Angels that are attributed to the fire hath more knowledge therein than any other, and those of the water hath more knowledge therein than any other, and also those of the earth hath knowledge therein than any other, and likewise those of the air. And to know which belongs to the fire, earth, air & water, observe the nature of the signs & you cannot err, for those that is attributed Aries is of the same nature Fiery, & so the like in the rest, but if any planet be in that degree that ascends, then that Angel is of the nature of the sign & planet both, & observe the following method & you cannot but obtain your desire &c.

Lemegeton: Clavicula Salomonis So when you know the Angel that governs the sign & degree of your Nativity & having the seal ready that belongs to that sign & degree as is showed before, then you are next to understand what order he is of, as is showed herein the following part. First these genijs that belong to the Fiery Region, that is  and governed by Michael the great Angel who is one of the Chief Messengers of God, who is toward the South, therefore these genijs are to be observed in the first hour of a Sunday & at the 8th. hour, also at the 3rd. & 10th. at night, directing yourself toward that quarter, they appear in Royal Apparel holding scepters in their hands, and riding on a Lyon or a Cock, their robes are of red & saffron color & most comely, they assume the shape Crowned Queen & very beautiful to behold. Secondly these genijs that are attributed to   &  are of the Earthly Regions & are governed by Vriel who hath 3 Princes to attend him (viz) Asaiel, Sochiel & Cassiel. Therefore the genijs that are Attributed to him & these signs are to be observed in the West. They appear like Kings, having green & silver robes, or like little children or women delighting in hunting, & they are to be observed on Saturday in the 1st. & 8th. hours of the day & the 3rd. & 10th. of the night, in those hours you are with privacy to obtain your desires directing yourself towards the west as aforesaid. Thirdly those genijs that are attributed to   &  are of the Airy Region whose soverign is called Raphiel, who hath under him 2 princes called Seraphiel & Miel. Therefore these genijs are attributed to him & those signs are to be observed towards the East, on a Wednesday the 1st. hour of the day & 8th., at night the 3rd. & 10th. hours. They appear as Kings or beautiful young men in robes of diverse colors but mostly like women transcendently handsome by reason of their admirable whiteness & beauty. Fourthly & lastly, these genijs that are attributed to  &  are of the Watery Regions & are governed by Gabriel who hath under him Samael, Madiel & Mael. Therefore these Genijs that are under these signs & are governed by Gabriel are to be observed on Mondays, towards the North at the 1st. & 8th. hours of the day & at night at the 3rd. & 10th. hours. They appear like Kings having green & silver robes or like little children or women delighting in hunting. So in the next place, we are to observe the season of the year according to the constellations of the Celestial Bodies, otherwise we shall loose our labor, for if a genijs be of the Igneal Hierarchy its in vain to observe him in any other season but when the  enters these signs which is of his nature, that is & . So if it be a genij of the Earth, he is to be observed when the  enters   & , & so the like in the rest. Otherwise thus: those genijs that are of the order of Fire are to be observed in the Summer Quarter & those of the Earth in Autumn, those of the Air in Spring, & those of the Water in Winter quarter. Their offices is to do all things that are just & lawful in the sight of the great God Jehovah & what is for our good & what shall concern the protection of our lives or beings or wellbeings & the doing good to our neighbors.

20

Ars Paulina Now he that hath a desire to see his genijs ought to prepare himself accordingly. Now if his genijs be of the Fire, his demands must be for the conservation of his body or person, that he receive no hurt from or by any fire, arms or guns or the like. & having a seal suitable ready prepared he is to wear it when he hath a desire to see his genijs that he may confirm it to him, that for the time to come he may not fail of his assistance & protection upon any occasion. But if his genijs be Aireal, he reconcileth mens natures, increaseth love & affection between them & causeth the desired love of Kings & Princes & secretly promotes Marriages. & therefore he that hath such a genius before he observes him shall prepare a seal suitable to his order, that he may have it confirmed by him in the day & hour of observation, whereof he shall see strange & wonderful effects. & so the like of the other 2 hierarchies. & when the time is come that you would see your genijs, turn your face to that quarter the sign there is. & that, with prayer to God (they being composed to your fancy but suitable to the matter at hand) there thou shalt find him & having found him, sincerely acknowledge him, do your duty. Then will he, as being benign & sociable, illuminate your mind, taking away all that is obscure & dark in thy memory & make you knowing in all Sciences sacred & divine in an instant. [Below is] A form of prayer which ought to be said upon that coast or quarter where the genijs is several times, it being an Exorcism to call the genij into the Crystal Stone. Note this prayer may be altered to the mind of the worker, for it is here sett for an example.

The Prayer “O thou great & blessed N my Angel Guardian, vouchsafe to descend from thy Holy mansion which is Celestial with thy holy influence & presence into this Crystal Stone, that I may behold thy glory & enjoy thy society, Aid & Assistance both now & forever hereafter, O thou that art higher than the 4th. heaven & knowest the secrets of Elanel, thou that ridest upon the wings of the wind & art mighty & potent in thy Celestial & supersublunary motion, do thou descend & be present I pray thee, I humbly desire & Intreat thee that if ever I have merited thy society or if any of my actions or intentions be real & pure & sanctified before thee, bring thy external presence hither & converse with me, one of thy submissive pupils, in & by the name of the great God Jehovah, whereunto the whole choir of heaven sings continually O Alappa-la-man Hallelujah, Amen.” When you have said this prayer over several times, as occasion serveth, you will at last see strange lights & passages in the stone & at last you will see your genius, then give him a kind entertainment as you were before directed, declaring unto him your mind & what you would have done.

Lemegeton: Clavicula Salomonis

Afterword by the Editor The text and diagrams of this book were taken directly from a copy of Sloane Manuscript 2731. The handwriting in this section was small and cramped, even in comparison with the rest of the manuscript. It is very difficult to distinguish between the copyist’s "o", "e", and "a"; thus there is some variation from other published editions in the names of various angels. They are as accurate as I can make them, given the state of the original materials. Punctuation marks and capitalization are virtually non-existent in the manuscript, particularly in the parts describing the individual angels and their subordinates. The punctuation in this edition represents my own best guess as to how the run-on strings of words are divided into sentences. The Ars Paulina is, in one way, the most sophisticated of the books of the Lemegeton. Unlike the other books, effective practice of its methods required a detailed knowledge of both mathematics and astronomy, possessed in those days only by those who could afford the full course of the traditional Liberal Arts education. As well, a tremendous amount of effort went into the preparations for any single operation of the Art. Calculating a single astrological chart by hand, without even the aid of a pre-calculated ephemeris, could consume many hours. There is one flaw in this sophistication, and it appears in the first paragraph of the book. There the author describes how the power governed by the angels ruling the dawn hour varies according to the day; Lunar on Monday, Martial on Tuesday, etc. Presumably the angels of the remaining hours either govern the same power, or follow something akin to the traditional cabalistic system of planetary hours, described in the Greater Key of Solomon and many other places. The problem with this is that the procedures described in the remainder of the book suggest that an entirely different system is being used to determine the invoked powers. To create the seal for the angels of a particular hour, the magician first casts the astrological chart for that hour in the day the work is to be done. The planetary glyph to be drawn in the center of the seal is the planet ruling the sign on the Ascendant of the chart. The glyphs of the remaining planets are drawn counterclockwise around the rim of the seal, starting with the fastest planet and ending with the slowest. Finally, for reasons not explained, the sign that is on the cusp of the twelfth astrological house is drawn in the center next to the ruler of the Ascendant. Therefore the planet emphasized in the seal may be different from the planet ruling the day of the week. For example, the date of the author’s examples fell on a Wednesday, but since Aries was rising at dawn, the central planet in the seal for that hour is Mars. The planet ruling the day only shows up in the seals when a sign it rules is rising at the beginning of an hour. To invoke the angel of the hour, the magician is instructed to lay the Seal upon the Table of Practice. But he lays it upon the sigil of the planet ruling the rising sign, not upon the sigil of the Planet ruling the day and hour according to the cabalistic system of hours.

22

Ars Paulina Further, the invocation used makes no mention of the cabalistic ruler of the Day and Hour. It does mention elements of the Seals, and also refers to the angels’ “rays”; this term is frequently used in medieval documents when discussing the action of the planets on the world, but I have never seen it used in relation to the cabalistic system of attributes. So every symbolic and operational element of this magick seems geared towards using the Lord of the Ascendant as the power ruling the hour. The preliminary mention of the Ruler of the Day, with its implied reference to the cabalistic method of rulership, is not supported by anything that comes afterwards. For the Seals shown in Part 1 of the book, the author chose the date of his example carefully. March 10, 1641 in the Old Style calendar (“according to the old account”) is March 21 in the New Style, the first full day after the Spring Equinox. This was no doubt done to ease the process of calculations, since this is one of only two days during the year when the magickal "hours" of the day and night are of equal length, and are almost exactly one clock hour in length. At any other time of the year the day and night hours are longer or shorter, and this would have made the process of calculating the astrological charts for each hour rather more tedious and error-prone. Even so, it seems that he made a few small errors in his calculations, which show up in the example seals. A modern magician, with the assistance of a good computer and astrology software, can easily avoid this. The author calculated his charts for the date specified, and for a place at approximately the latitude of London, England. Comparing his seals with calculated charts for that date, it appears that he used a system of house calculations resembling the old Meridian or Porphyry systems. The Placidus house system more commonly used today produces results substantially different from those shown in the seals. It should also be noted that, despite the assertions of one commentator on this book, the author used the Tropical, precession-adjusted zodiac for his calculations, not any version of a sidereal or constellation-oriented zodiac. The example seals can only be produced if the Tropical zodiac is used. Benjamin Rowe June 22, 1999

Ars Almadel -- Part IV of the Lemegeton Transcribed from Sloane MS. 2731 and converted to Acrobat by Benjamin Rowe, July 1999. Afterword copyright 1999 by Benjamin Rowe. Typeset in Adobe Caslon

Here Beginneth the The Fourth Part of this Book Which is called the Art Almadel of Solomon By this art Solomon attained great wisdom from the Chief Angels that govern the four Altitudes of the World: for you must observe that there are four Altitudes which represent the four Corners of the West, East, North and South: the which is divided into 12 parts; that is, every part 3. And the Angels of every one1 of these parts hath their particular virtues and powers, as shall be showed in the following matter &c. Make this Almadel of pure white wax; but the others must be coloured suitable to the Altitude. It is to be 4 inches square, and 6 inches over every way, and in every corner a hole, and write betwixt every hole with a new pen those words and names of God following. But this is to be done in the day and hour of Sol. Write upon the first part towards the East, ADONAIJ, HELOMI, PINE. And upon the second towards the South part HELION, HELOI, HELI. And upon the West part JOD, HOD, AGLA. And upon the Fourth part which is North write TETRAGRAMMATON, SHADAI, JAH. And betwixt the first and the other parts make the pentacle of Solomon thus: , and betwixt the first quarter write this word ANABONA, and in the middle of the Almadel make a Sexangle figure ✡, and in the middle of it a triangle, wherein must be written these names of God HELL, HELION, ADONAIJ, and this last have round about the six-angled figure, as here it is made for an example. And of the same wax there must be made four candles. And they must be of the same colour as the Almadel is of. Divide your wax into three parts: one to make the Almadel of, and the other two parts to make the candles of. And let there come forth from every one of them a foot made of the same wax to support the Almadel. This being done, in the next place you are to make a seal of pure gold or silver (but gold is best) whereon must be engraved those three names HELION, HELLUION, ADONAIJ. And note that the First Altitude is called Chora Orientis, or the East Altitude. And to make an experiment in this Chora it is to be done in the day and hour of the Sun. And the power and office of those angels is to make all things fruitful, and increase both animals and vegetables in creation and generation, advancing the birth of children, and making barren women fruitful. And their names are these, viz: ALIMIEL, GABRIEL, BARACHIEL, LEBES, HELISON. And note you must not pray for any angel but those that belong to the Altitude you have a desire to call forth. And when you operate set the four candles upon four candlesticks, but be careful you do not light them before you begin to operate.

And when he appeareth he appeareth in the form of an Angel carrying in his hand a banner or flag having the picture of a white cross1 upon it, his body being wrapped round with a fair cloud, and his face very fair and bright, and a crown of rose flowers upon his head. He ascends first upon the superscription on the Almadel, as it were a mist or fog. Then must the exorcist have ready a vessel of earth of the same colour as the Almadel is of, and the other of his furniture, it being in the form of a basin, and put thereinto a few hot ashes or coals, but not too much lest it should melt the wax of the Almadel. And put therein three little grains of mastick in powder so that it may fume and the smell go upwards through the holes of the Almadel when it is under it. And as soon as the Angel smelleth it he beginneth to speak with a low voice, asking what your desire is, and what you have called the princes and governors of this Altitude for. Then you must answer him, saying: I desire that all my requests may be granted and what I pray for may be accomplished: for your office maketh it appear and declareth 1. An equal-armed cross is drawn in the manuscript, following the word “cross”.

that such is to be fulfilled by you, if it please God, adding further the particulars of your request, praying with humility for what is lawful and just: and that thou shall obtain from him. But if he do not appear presently, then you must obtain the golden seal, and make with it three or four marks upon the candles, by which means the Angel will presently appear as aforesaid. And when the Angel departeth he will fill the whole place with a sweet and pleasant smell, which will be smelled for a long time. And note the golden seal will serve and is used in all the operations of all four Altitudes. The colour of the Altitude belonging to the first Altitude, or Chora, is lilywhite; the second Chora a perfect red rose colour; the third Chora is to be a green mixed with a white silver colour; the fourth Chora is to be black mixt with a little green or a sad colour. Of the Second Chora or Altitude Note that the other three Altitudes, with their Signs and Princes can exert power over goods and riches, and can make any man rich or poor. And as the first Chora gives increase and maketh fruitful, so these give decrease and barrenness. And if any have a desire to operate in any of these three following Choras or Altitudes, they must do it in die Solis in the manner above showed. But do not pray for anything that is against God and His laws, but what God giveth according to the custom or course of nature: that you may desire and obtain. All the furniture to be used is to be of the same colour the Almadel is of. And the princes of the second Chora are named, viz: APHIRIZA, GENON, GERON, ARMON, GEREIMON. And when you operate kneel before the Almadel, with clothes of the same colour, in a closet hung with the same colours also; for the holy apparition will be of the same colours. And when he appeareth, put an earthen vessel under the Almadel, with fire or hot ashes and three grains of mastick to perfume as aforesaid. And when the Angel smelleth it he turneth his face towards you, asking the exorcist with a low voice why he hath called the princes of this Chora or Altitude. Then you must answer as before: I desire that my requests may be granted, and the contents thereof may be accomplished: for your office maketh it appear and declareth that such is to be done by you, if it please God. And you must not be fearful, but speak humbly, saying: I recommend myself wholly to your office, and I pray unto you, Prince of this Altitude, that I may enjoy and obtain all things according to my wishes and desires. And you may further express your mind in all particulars in your prayer, and do the like in the two other Choras following. The Angel of the second Altitude appeareth in the form of a young child with clothes of a satin, and of a red rose colour, having a crown of red gilly flowers upon his head. His face looketh upwards to heaven and is of a red colour, and is compassed round about with a bright splendour as the beams of the sun.

5

Before he departeth he speaketh unto the exorcist saying, I am your friend and brother. And illuminateth the air round about with his splendour, and leaveth a pleasant smell which will last a long time upon their heads. Of the Third Chora or Altitude In this chora you must do in all things as you were before directed in the other two. The angels in this Altitude are named, viz: ELIPHANIASAI, GELOMIROS, GEDOBONAI, TARANAVA & ELOMINA. They appear in the form of little children or little women dressed in green and silver colours very delightful to behold, and a crown of baye leaf with white and colours upon their heads. And they seem to look a little downwards with their faces. And they speak as the others do to the exorcist, and leave a mighty sweet perfume behind them. Of the Fourth Chora or Altitude In this Chora you must do as before in the others, and the Angels in this Chora are called BARCAHIEL, GEDIEL, GEDIEL, DELIEL and CAPITIEL. They appear in the form of little men or boys, with clothes of a black colour mixed with a dark green; and in their hands they hold a bird which is naked; and their heads compassed round about with a bright shining of divers colours. They leave a sweet smell behind them, but differ from the others something. The Times for invoking the Angels Note there is twelve Princes, beside those in the four Altitudes: and they distribute their offices amongst themselves, every one ruling thirty days every year. Now it will be in vain to call any of the Angels unless it be those that govern then, for every Chora or altitude hath its limited time, according to the twelve signs of the Zodiack; and in that Sign the Sun is in, that or those Angels that belong to that Sign hath the government [and should be invoked]. As, for example: suppose that I would call the 2 first of the 5 that belong to the first Chora. Then choose the first Sunday in March, after the Sun hath entered Aries: and then I make an experiment. And so do the like, if you will, the next Sunday after again. And if you will call the two second that belong to the first Chora, that Sunday after the Sun enters Taurus in April. But if you will call the last of the 5, then you must take those Sundays that are in May after the Sun has entered Gemini, to make your experiment in. Do the like in the other Altitudes, for they have all one way of working. But the Altitudes have names formed severally in the substance of the heavens, even a Character. For when the Angels hear the names of God that is attributed to them, they hear it by virtue of that Character. Therefore it is in vain to call any angel or spirit unless he knows what name to call him by. Therefore observe the form of this conjuration or invocation following:

6

The Invocation O thou great, blessed and glorious Angel of God (N), who rulest and is the chief governing Angel in the (number) Chora or Altitude. I am the servant of the Highest, the same your God ADONAIJ, HELOMI, AND PINE,1 whom you do obey, and is your distributor and disposer of all things both in heaven earth and hell, do invocate, conjure and entreat you (N) that thou forthwith appear in the virtue and power of the same God, ADONAIJ, HELOMI AND PINE; and I do command thee by him whom ye do obey, and is set over you as King in the divine power of God, that you forthwith descend from thy orders or place of abode to come unto me, and show thyself visibly here before me in this crystal stone, in thy own proper shape and glory, speaking with a voice intelligible to my understanding. O thou mighty and powerful Angel (N), who art by the power of God ordained to govern all animals, vegetables and minerals, and to cause them and all creatures of God to spring increase and bring forth according to their kinds and natures: I, the servant of the Most High God whom you obey, do entreat and humbly beseech thee to come from your celestial mansion, and shew unto me all things I shall desire of you, so far as in office you may or can or is capable to perform, if God permit to the same. O thou servant of mercy (N), I do humbly entreat and beseech thee by these holy and blessed names of your God ADONAIJ, HELLOMI, PINE; And I do also constrain you in and by this powerful name ANABONA, that you forthwith appear visibly and plainly in your own proper shape and glory in and through this crystal stone, that I may visibly see you, and audibly hear you speak unto me, and that I may have thy blessed and glorious angelic assistance, familiar friendship and constant society, community and instruction, both now and at all times, to inform and rightly instruct me in my ignorance and depraved intellect, judgement and understanding, and to assist me both herein and in all other truths also, through the Almighty ADONAIJ, King of Kings, the giver of all good gifts that his bountiful and fatherly mercy be graciously pleased to bestow upon me. Therefore, O thou blessed Angel (N), be friendly unto me, so far as God shall give you power and presence, to appear, that I may sing with his holy Angels. O Mappa Laman, Hallelujah. Amen. When he appears, give him or them kind entertainment; and then ask what is just and lawful, and that which is proper and suitable to his office. And you shall obtain it. So endeth the 4th book called the Almadel of Solomon the King.

Afterword The Ars Almadel completes the major sections of the Lemegeton; the remaining section, Ars Nova, is more an appendix than a book in itself. Among them, these four sections provide a reasonably comprehensive system of access to the powers of the magickal universe; demonic (Goetia), terrestrial (Theurgia Goetia), planetary (Ars Paulina) and zodiacal (Ars Almadel). It is interesting to note that as the powers to be invoked has become progressively more exalted, the method of invocation becomes progressively simpler. One prepares to invoke a Goetic spirit as if for a minor magickal war; a single work of the Almadel can be accomplished before breakfast. This accords with the medieval idea that spirits who are servants of God want to assist mankind, and will readily come if properly called; the threats and force used on the Goetic spirits are not required for the higher spirits, and would in fact be an insult to them. The four Altitudes of the Almadel are not exactly cognate with the four directions, or with the Elements. Rather they seem to be representatives of the equinox and solstice points, viewed as the anchor points of the zodiac and the seasons. They are called “corners”, in much the same way that the horizon and vertical points of an astrological chart are called “angles”. Their colors as well appear seasonal rather than elemental; white the pure unsullied freshness of the spring breeze, the red heat of summer, the green of mature plants invigorated by the fall rains, and the darkness of midwinter. Each Altitude in turn rules a season and the three zodiac signs therein, not, as suggested by Carroll “Poke” Runyon, the three signs of a single element or the Cardinal signs alone. This is clear from the described timing of the invocations: the first two Princes of an Altitude rule the Cardinal sign of the season, the second two rule the Fixed sign, and the last rules the Mutable. Runyon’s idea of substituting the names of the four Archangels of the Elements for the Princes would be inappropriate; likely it would produce some sort of result, but probably not what was intended by this work. Runyon also states that the candles are intended to go through the holes in the Almadel, but this is clearly not the case from the description. Rather, little ledges are to be built into the candles, so that (with the additional height provided by the candle-holders) it is raised enough to fit a small incense-bowl underneath. For practical considerations, the candles should support the Almadel at the corners rather than along the sides, but the ledges should not be so large as to block the holes. The powers mentioned for these angels are rather vague, and in the case of three of the Chora, rather pointless as well. But the first paragraph of the document is careful to note that “every one of these [twelve] parts hath their particular virtues and powers.” Given their explicit association with the signs, it would follow that their powers are associated with the signs they rule. E.g., trade and wealth under Taurus, crafts and communications under Gemini or Virgo, diplomacy and relationships under Libra, construction and government under Capricorn, and so on.

8

A crystal stone is mentioned in the invocation, but not the the directions for constructing the Almadel. The use of such a device seems to me to be optional; not absolutely required, but acceptable for those who are accustomed to using one. If used, it would likely be placed on top of the golden seal, which in turn is placed on top of the Almadel. It would necessarily be a small stone, so its weight would not stress the wax structure.

The Ars Nova Book V of the Lemegeton

Ars Nova – Book Five of the Lemegeton Transcribed from Sloane MS. 2731 and prepared in Adobe Acrobat format by Benjamin Rowe, June, 1999. Typeset in Adobe Caslon

Ars Nova

Introduction There is some question whether the Ars Nova qualifies as a separate book of the Lemegeton. In my copy of the manuscript (Sloane 2731) it consists of a single sheet of paper. It is only distinguished from the preceding Ars Almadel by the word “Finis” at the end of that book; there is no new title for the text that follows. It is my belief that the lack of a title – and an error at whatever time the pages were numbered – has caused previous publishers and commentators on the Ars Nova to put its two pages in the reverse of the sequence in which they should be shown. Using the opposite of the accepted order puts the presentation in a logical sequence, and clears up the mystery surrounding the “Mighty Oration”, which has puzzled previous commentators. Sloane 2731 is characterized by an almost obsessive concern with conserving space. Each sheet of paper is used to the maximum. The writing is minuscule. The margins are very narrow, and the copyist wrote in what we now call “landscape” orientation in order to fit as many words as possible on each line. There are only two places in the manuscript where as much as a half-page is left blank, and one of these is in the Ars Nova. If the accepted order of the pages is used, this blank comes in the middle of the presentation, for no obvious reason. It seems more reasonable to conclude that this blank comes at the end of the section, and thus at the end of the entire Lemegeton; it is blank because the work is finished at that point. Most of the text of Ars Nova clearly relates to the first book of the Lemegeton, the Goetia, and the “tools of the trade” described therein: the magickal circle and triangle, the hexagrams within the circle and the pentagrams surrounding it. It lists the divine names written in each of these, and adds a short prayer, with one line of prayer per name. This list takes up the entire first page. I believe that the prayers were to be spoken either while drawing the divine names and figures, or later while consecrating the place of the work. On the opposite side of the sheet, there are three sections. In the first, several sets of Hebrew characters are shown with accompanying names in the Latin alphabet. The latter do not appear to be transliterations of the Hebrew – which, in any case, is only partly legible. The second section is a prayer that incorporates some of the Latin-alphabet words from the previous section. But it actually makes more sense with those words excised: it is a prayer to god to confine evil and aerial spirits in a brass urn. This immediately brings to mind the brass vessel of Solomon, shown in the Goetia. Possibly this is a prayer to be said while consecrating or preparing such a vessel. However, the divine names in this prayer are not those shown on the vessel in my copy of the manuscript, nor those on the vessel in the Crowley/Mathers edition of the Goetia. Possibly this section is a borrowing from some document outside the Lemegeton tradition; the extreme corruption of the divine names would suggest it. With the order of the pages reversed, the final section is the “Mighty Oration”. Nelson White puzzles over this invocation, wondering whether the magician is sup-

Lemegeton: Clavicula Salomonis posed to address the Spirit as if it were a thief. The explanation is simple; it is not part of the Lemegeton as such. Rather, this section is a curse directed against any person who steals the book in which it is written. Such curses were common in the times when books were reproduced by hand; the time and effort it took to copy them made them much more valuable commodities than our modern mass-produced volumes. Its presence in this position is the final confirmation that the order of the pages has been reversed. It should be noted than in the Introductory Description of the Lemegeton (presented in the Goetia volume of this series) this book is sometimes erroneously titled Ars Notoria. The Notoria is a separate (and much more complex) work, the text of which was included (without its vitally important illustrations) as an appendix in one copy of the Lemegeton. — Benjamin Rowe
